Chapter 208
Wen Zheng took out the newly made pills. After several adjustments to the formula and operation, he was able to successfully make the pills according to the steps. I opened it, smelled it, and put it in my mouth to taste it. The taste was a bit unpleasant, but the medicinal effect should not be much different.
"Have you seen the production steps?" Wen Zheng put the pills into the porcelain bottle, picked up a clean cloth to wipe his hands, and asked back.
There were many doctors and apprentices in the room who took notes during the observation process. After Wen Zheng asked, someone first answered: "Teacher, we have written down all the steps, and we still need to practice them again." The process of making medicine seems simple, but If there is any problem with the mixing ratio and cooking time, it will probably affect the efficacy of the medicine. They cannot guarantee that there will be no mistakes.
Wen Zheng nodded and asked them to continue trying to make medicine in the house. Before going out, he explained: "Put all the pills in the bottles and label them. I will come to check tomorrow. By the way, last time the young master asked if there was a pagoda. If you have the energy, you can try it.”
As soon as Wen Zheng left, the faces of the students in the room became sad, and they continued to ponder while holding the handwriting in their hands, not even wanting to get involved in the lively commotion outside.
He left the prescription that kept him warm by burning a fire. As soon as he went out, the coldness penetrated his exposed neck and wrists into his clothes. In the blink of an eye, Wen Zheng had been in this world for more than half a year. Looking back, the experience of these six months was really special. Rich.
First, he fled with the Wen clan when the flood came, and then encountered the plague. Finally, he left alone, changed his identity, and settled in the rebel army.
Frequent disasters have caused many families to be destroyed and displaced, but God has not driven people to a dead end. The unbearable heat left them as they counted the days every day. After waiting for the long-awaited rain, the people who could not wait for a long time took the farm tools and improved seeds borrowed from the rebels and worked on the land allocated to them. The hope of settling down was sown.
The land after the flood was originally unsuitable for farming, but it encountered a flood first and then a drought. The soil that was so dry that it cracked was equivalent to having experienced exposure to the sun and sterilization. Later, the rebel army organized people to burn the carcasses of animals and clean up the garbage in the fields until the rain came.
Before formal farming, the rebel army also specially dispatched trained agricultural officers to teach the newly learned methods of fertilization. Animal manure was collected from various places and combined with plant ash to make agricultural fertilizer, which restored some fertility to the land.
The improved seeds borrowed from the rebels are crops with relatively strong drought resistance. Although the taste and price after planting are not as good as Maihe rice, they can be put to use in the granary built by the family.
Autumn turns to winter, and there have been several autumn rains during this period. People have gradually come out of the drought, and have been rewarded for their hard work. The food planted in the fields can be harvested. Recently, everyone can't help but be excited. , even in the rebel army, Wen Zheng could see people coming and going with joy on their faces.
The rebels, like ordinary people, were assigned their own farmland. When sowing seeds, they followed the arrangements of the small leader. They planted more types, but some types that required careful attention would result in a smaller harvest.
A few days ago, some people couldn't bear to go to the fields to harvest. The rebels were more patient and waited for the leader's command. Today I put down the weapons I practiced every day and put on farm tools to go to the harvest land.
The harvested grain was transported to the government warehouse in batches. When they met Wen Zheng, they would often say hello and excitedly tell how many kilograms of grain they had harvested today, and invite the miracle doctor to taste the new crops he planted another day. grain.
Wen Zheng responded patiently every time. Wen Zheng had seen the scene of being happy because of the harvest too many times, but every time he saw it, he would be sincerely happy.
This good harvest made everyone happy. The daily food of the people in the rebel army was better than that of the common people, but it was not very good. So after the new grain was harvested, the leader ordered the kitchen to cook a good meal for everyone with the new grain. In addition, not only did he send The man came back with weapons to capture some prey, and secretly took out a few jars of strong liquor. Meng Jun stared at him and put them back, and then came out with a few jars with lower stamina.
Good food, good meat, and good wine were brought to the table. The moment the big stuff was in your mouth, some people almost shed tears. It is really not easy to live such a life. It is too much to have enough food. happiness.
Thinking of the corrupt officials who I have seen before and the rebels who have received the ideological education of the young master every day, I can't eat anymore. I want to know what the people outside are eating today. .
Meng Jun saw what they were thinking, smiled with satisfaction, and said with a smile: "Today's grain harvest is good. They only need to pay back the fine seeds they borrowed from us. The rest is enough for them to live a more prosperous year. Today, every household can have enough to eat." We need to work together to ensure that people have enough to eat every day.”
His stomach was full, but his eye circles were red. A group of drunken men supported each other. They were unwilling to go home to rest and insisted on going to the fields. In the end, Meng Jun had no choice but to ask someone who had not drank to accompany them to the fields. Wandered around.
Most of the people left, and those who remained were drunk and sleepy. They fell asleep on their chairs. Looking around, only Wen Zheng and Meng Jun were still awake.
Meng Jun chatted casually with Wen Zheng, then sat on a chair and looked up at the bright moon above his head. The moon tonight is not round, but it is extremely bright, illuminating the entire yard. Meng Jun raised his face, making it difficult to see the expression on his face. He muttered a few lines in a low voice. Wen Zheng heard them. They were those two particularly familiar lines of poetry, "I hope people will live forever, and we will share the beauty of the moon thousands of miles apart." But if not In the same era, the moon seen is also far different in time.
No one spoke anymore, but the anger turned into sadness. Wen Zheng was so moved that he missed Tuantuan and his grandfather.
After drinking the last bowl of wine in the cup, Wen Zheng waited until Meng Jun's most trusted confidant came to pick him up before leaving, and slowly came to the prescription. The students who had been busy making pills in the past few days had gone to enjoy the harvest feast. How could they have imagined that the teacher would take this opportunity to come and check their homework.
The doctors who studied with Wen Zheng and the apprentices who were new to medicine were both old and young. The old were better because of their experience, and the younger were better because of their flexible minds. They communicated with each other every day, and they could really make up for each other's shortcomings.
After they first tasted Wen Zheng's methods, no one of them tried to play tricks under Wen Zheng's nose. They put all their thoughts on improving their medical skills every day, and their medical skills improved at an extremely fast speed. , the completion of the homework is also quite good.
After seeing the pills made by the students these days, Wen Zheng's mood improved a lot. He casually divided these pills into several different levels before going back to rest.
The next day, Wen Zheng went to the pharmacy again and saw that the students were consciously gathering in front of the sorted medicine bottles to self-examine. Wen Zheng found a seat to sit down and pointed out the things they didn't pay attention to when making medicine. After everyone asked questions, Wen Zheng looked out the window. Meng Jun, who was invited by Wen Zheng, waited at the door for a while.
In the past half year, Meng Jun was actually in charge of the rebel army. He had a childish look on his face when they first met, but now he has grown taller and has a leaner figure.
And due to daily hard work, the skin has become rough and dark, but the appearance has not declined much. He was dressed in smart clothes, with a weapon on his waist, and he walked nimblely. He looked like a young general, with a team of people behind him. When he saw the pills that Wen Zheng had successfully developed, he came to Wen Zheng to express his gratitude.
The miracle doctor was extremely talented in medicine, but he gave him a big surprise with just a few simple reminders.
"I didn't expect that your husband would develop pills so quickly. He is truly worthy of the name of a miracle doctor. The reward will definitely be sent to you in the future. If you want anything, please ask me. In the recent days, please bring everyone with you." The doctor will rush to make more pills like this." Meng Jun promised. At this moment, he could no longer see the sadness from last night, and his eyes were filled with excitement.
This miracle doctor is the ancient person who is the most receptive to modern theories that are novel or absurd to them among the people I have encountered so far. Once the allicin extraction method is revealed, it can be made exactly as it is in a few days. There were very few mistakes, and I even tried using other medicinal materials by analogy.
Later, Meng Jun couldn't help but tell some of the modern medical knowledge he knew. He also showed Wen Zheng the equipment for purifying high-concentration alcohol. Finally, he wrote down that he once mentioned a method for making penicillin, and let the miracle doctor study it. He is busy managing this place and thinking of ways to help the people survive this severe drought.
The pills Wen Zhengxin made had nothing to do with penicillin.
Under ancient conditions, it was impossible to extract penicillin that could be used. If it was tested on animals, most of the results would be death. Unless there was no other way, it would probably be used on humans. It was a gamble. .

The drug could not be developed, but the method used in the process opened up the "miracle doctor's" thinking. During the days he stayed in Yangning Mansion, he also saw the way the rebels treated the people, and he stayed with complete peace of mind.
In fact, Wen Zheng has been able to determine in these days that Meng Jun, the small leader of the rebel army, has very distinct characteristics of a modern person. He is not an ancient person who accidentally obtained modern information, but has truly traveled from modern times to ancient times.
Perhaps he carries some kind of golden finger with him. At least judging from Meng Jun's performance, he has ideas and the ability to change this miserable world. However, this made Wen Zheng even more suspicious of the authenticity of this world.
Seeing that everything in Yangning Mansion was developing well, Wen Zheng completely regarded himself as an ancient person. He was just a smart ancient person. He always had new inspirations from Meng Jun's "unintentional" reminders. Research new drugs.
The pills that Meng Jun came to take away just now are oral anthelmintics newly developed by Wen Zheng after being reminded. The main anthelmintic ingredients are extracted from plants. Because they can be used to expel roundworms in the human body, Meng Jun We all call it Artemisia wormwood.
Wen Zheng figured out a prescription for deworming using artemisia as the main ingredient, and Meng Jun suggested whether it could be made into a prescription that was easy to store and carry, so it took a while. The pills were made. He was too lazy to make any other shapes, but he did miss the modern pagoda candy, so he casually arranged them for the group of students and put the blame on Meng Jun.
Thinking of the topic that everyone was keen to talk about recently, the young master's childlike innocence, Wen Zheng didn't feel guilty at all, but he was wondering where this roundworm came from.
Modern pagoda sugar is made from Artemisia ascaris, but this plant did not exist in their country until it was introduced from abroad in modern times, but it was easily discovered in this ancient world.
Wen Zheng didn't notice any novel plants appearing around Meng Jun. Otherwise, sweet potatoes, potatoes, peppers, etc. would be more useful than artemisia. After many inquiries, he ran around the place where the plant was found under the protection of the rebels. It really looked like a native plant. He couldn't find the reason, so he could only remember it one by one in his heart.
The ancient version of pagoda sugar did not take the trouble to add sweetness to it. In that case, the cost would be too high. However, for ancient people who were used to taking bitter soup medicine, a pill that could be easily swallowed would not even taste. I swallowed it as soon as it arrived. It tasted much better than those bitter medicines.
Later, when many children were sick, they wanted to take pills rather than drink decoction. The pills developed by these doctors later sold very well.
But that was what happened later. The anthelmintic medicine, which was not called pagoda candy because it was not sweet, was extremely popular in Yangning Prefecture. However, when it was first sold in other prefectures, it met with strong resistance. .
Meng Jun asked Wen Zheng and many students to make the anti-insect medicine. First, it was to be sold in other prefectures and cities, so the first few batches of the medicine were shipped out as soon as possible. It's just that the journey is far away and the results of the sale cannot be known in a short time.
The next few batches of pills produced were reserved for the people in Yangning Prefecture. The rebel army did not charge for this medicine, but as the new year was approaching, they simply distributed it to the people for free, just in time to "remove the old and welcome the new."
The effect of insecticides is extremely effective and particularly noticeable. After all, you can see the discharged roundworms with your own eyes if you want to see them without feeling disgusted.
After more than half a year of getting along with each other, the residents of Yangning Prefecture believed in the rebels and the "miracle doctor" so much that they never thought about going anywhere else.
After receiving the deworming medicine distributed by the rebel army, I basically took the medicine in my stomach on the same day. Some people even competed to see who could excrete more roundworms. Not to mention, after the worms were driven out, even the food smelled much better, and there were no roundworms in the stomach that robbed the nutrients of the food. As the year passed, people gained a lot of weight, and everyone praised the medicine for its effectiveness.
However, Yao Wan, who was highly praised in Yangning Fucheng, received the opposite treatment when he came to other places.
The waterway was difficult to travel in winter, so the delay was even longer when traveling by land. It was only after the New Year passed that the pills were delivered to the capital and several bustling prefectures.
The shop that Meng Jun secretly sent people to run was quite prosperous. When he first promoted the anti-insect medicine, he specifically identified a specific group of people who recommended it to people who had some extra money but still needed to work every day. If those who are rich or powerful have little access to unclean drinking water, they do not need to take anti-parasitic drugs.
The medicine was sold and had an effect, but not only did the sales not increase, people came to the door with the medicine. Not only did the people who caused the trouble not believe in the effectiveness of the anti-worming medicine, they even suspected that there were bugs in the medicine, which was why the bugs were expelled from the stomach. Even if no bugs were found after cutting the pill, they still suspected that there were insect eggs in the medicine. .
As soon as the news got out, no one dared to buy or take anti-parasitic medicine anymore, and the number of people who usually came to see the doctor was reduced. However, the business of several nearby companies became better.
When the news came back to Yangning Mansion from outside, it was already after the Chinese New Year.
Meng Jun informed them of the situation. Even before Wen Zheng was angry, all the doctors in Yangning Prefecture were unhappy. They all personally learned the production method from Wen Zheng, studied it for several days, and took out the medicine for sale. It was basically made by them. How can one not be angry when the drugs they make are so slandered?
Several people wanted to go over and have a discussion.
"Why are you so anxious? Haven't you seen that our little leader is not worried? This happened years ago. Far water cannot save the near fire. Now that the news has been passed to the little leader, the problem has most likely been solved."
"As my husband said, the problem has been solved a long time ago. The person who solved the problem is my business partner and I. This person is extremely talented in business. If it weren't for him, I might not be able to earn so much profit from selling ice. , and then bought grain in large quantities and cleared the checkpoints to transport it to Yangning Mansion, especially thanks to the method he came up with. "
Meng Jun explained the matter slowly and introduced his business partner to everyone for the first time.
"You came here and said so much. In addition to telling us a piece of news that has been solved, I'm afraid there are other things you need our help with. If you have something to say, just tell it quickly, why bother here." Wen Zheng said simply and neatly. road.
"Before I speak, I should explain things clearly to you."
Only then did Meng Jun slowly reveal his purpose.
The letter sent from another prefecture not only contained the story of the partner helping to solve the problem, but also a letter of help from the partner.
The other party's father was seriously ill, and all the famous doctors invited were helpless. They could only barely keep him alive, but they couldn't hold on for too long. Although anthelmintics are not life-saving medicines, it can be inferred that Meng Jun definitely knows a miraculous doctor who may be able to treat his father's illness.
It is said that "in a hurry, you will try any method." He was worried and wanted to try all methods, so the partner explained the situation in the letter and wrote clearly that his father's physical condition made it difficult for him to walk, so he asked a good doctor to come and treat the disease. Regardless of whether he could be cured or not, he would prepare a generous thank-you gift.
Once the story was told, everyone understood that Meng Jun was going to send a doctor to treat the disease and save people, and asked the little leader to come in person to say so much, and the only doctor he wanted to send was the "miracle doctor."
"Sir, please listen to me. The end of the year is coming. I don't know what the court will do to our Yangning Prefecture. It is inconvenient to inquire about the news here. I originally planned to go to other prefectures to inquire about the situation and invite the miracle doctor to accompany me." Meng Jun said.
I haven't found anyone who taught the miracle doctor to use charcoal pencils. There are also many things wrong with that partner. If we get together and talk, we may find something.
"When do you leave? I need to pack my luggage." Wen Zheng would not refuse. He stayed in Yangning Prefecture for a long time. Although he would occasionally sneak out to the mountains and forests at night, he wanted to see the scenery of other prefectures and inquire about the current situation of the Wen family.
